It was a sad moment in Osogbo on Sunday as a young man named Muideen, a student of navy school, has been accidentally shot dead by a police officer near AUD middle school, Oke Baale, Osogbo.

The report gathered revealled that some group of boys simply identified as Adamo boys were playing on AUD Middle School’s pitch when the squad of police officers from Oja Oba divisional police headquarters arrived at the scene to make arrest. The boys reportedly ran in order to resist arrest which led to the accidental shot by a police man.

Our correspondence in Osogbo while speaking with a source who pleaded anonymity gathered that the some group of boys have been having fracas for the past few days

“They (the boys) have been having fracas for the past few days. The cause of the fracas due to the fight between Adamo boys and Akaje boys (both of whom were thugs) over a girl which caused Akaje boys to trace the boys of the fellow rival thugs in order to get their own pound of flesh, that was when police arrived at the scene and the boy was shot”.
